Our foundation

Daniel "The Lion" Day was started by Daniel and Jacquenette (Jax) Jaramillo who lost their son Daniel at the early age of 14 months. Baby Daniel was nicknamed "The Lion" due to the fight he demonstrated during the challenges he faced daily. His journey inspired a worldwide following that still exists today. After the loss of their son in October 2013, Daniel and Jax wanted to start an event to celebrate the life of their son and the community that surrounded them and others who have battled difficult times.

Daniel and Jax hope this event will inspire families that endure hardship that good things can always be found in the most challenging times.
